Dechaun Holiday – DB to WR

Continuing the trend of moving defensive backs to the offensive side of the ball, Holiday has struggled to live up the hype he generated during his recruiting cycle.

Blessed with fantastic size (6’2, 220 lbs.) and solid speed, he could still turn his career as a defender around but would be a physical mismatch as a receiver for Josh Rosen. His ball skills are already some of the best in the secondary and with just a little sharpening would be impressive for a receiver.

Using him in jump ball situations, as a blocker and across the middle would really help the Bruins especially in the redzone. Perhaps this year we see Holiday improve by leaps and bounds as a safety/corner but just imagine him leaping and bounding into the endzone and then call me.
